[McV #LQX-280027]: IOUtil.getInputStream request

Hi Dave,
The problem is the URLConnection handles the redirects automatically. In the 
code:
                URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
                connection.setAllowUserInteraction(true);
                if (connection instanceof HttpURLConnection) {
                    HttpURLConnection huc = (HttpURLConnection) connection;
//We never see a 301 here. All we see is the 200
                    if (huc.getResponseCode() == 401) {

...


Do you know a different approach?
